Summarize your academic and professional background (if applicable) and goals, and your reasons for applying to the PMP.

Mention any particular strengths that may not appear in other application materials, and explain any areas of weakness that may be of concern.

You should also address your anticipated ability to meet the demands of an evening degree program while working (if applicable) and balancing your other demands/commitments (i.e. family, etc).

Letters of Recommendation (2 required)

Applicants will be asked to provide the current email addresses of recommenders who will then be notified via email to provide their recommendation online. As a part of the process, recommenders will also be asked to rate the applicant in areas such as creativity, independent thinking, ability to work as a team, and verbal and written proficiency.

If possible, at least 1 recommendation should be a professional reference, ideally coming from a current supervisor or colleague. Since students pursuing a graduate degree while working full-time must balance many time commitments and responsibilities, it is important that the admissions committee have an indication of the level of support and flexibility that the applicant's company/supervisor is prepared to offer the student to help facilitate their successful completion of the MSEE.

If you are applying without professional experience, letters of recommendation can come from internship supervisors, research supervisors, or instructors/professors.
